Wait until you hear about county and city laws.

Oh, so the US should have claimed Venezuela was US property, then they aren’t playing world police!

Random thought just popped into my head for no reason I can think of: if you know someone’s name, and the county they own property in, you can visit their county records (many even have publicly accessible websites) and find the exact plots of land tied to their name!

I managed to track down the former property owner of the place I live now to their new house in another state, since they intentionally hid a bunch of issues from the buyer before the sale that ended up costing nearly half the price of the house and the realtors decided to ignore me when I attempted to get in contact.

All I did was look up “[County I knew remembered they were moving to from overheard conversations during the buying process] county property records” and the rest was super straightforward.

Nor do you have dozens, to potentially thousands of people all willing to throw themselves into a hail of bullets to keep you out of jail.

I mean, I’m just assuming you don’t.

Electronics function better when colder (to a point) so they need to keep the electronics cool.

Instead of large cooling towers and a more enclosed system, a lot are just sucking up cool municipal water, and dumping hot water out wherever they feel like.

I think it’s more like “you can feel your tongue inside your mouth and nowhere is comfortable” kind of thing.

You can always feel your tongue, but you aren’t always aware of it.

Forgive them

Nah. Just forget them.

If you have a rule that is interpreted as “you can’t ask questions about the rule” or “no questioning the rules” then it’s a fucking stupid rule.

Sprinkle some on your pancakes, it’s quite sweet!

Please don’t use 3d printed parts in food preparation.

You already have enough microplastics in your brains, and the layer lines are bacterial breeding grounds. (which are less of a concern if you only use it once or twice but is still relevant)

Make sure you get a good coat of leaded paint to make sure none of that is a problem.

I’ve been shot, I’ve been stabbed, I’ve had thousands of pounds of aluminum fall straight toward me and get caught in the last half meter, I’ve had semis clip my clothing while on a bike and send me flying, I’ve been pushed off the road by shitty carbrains who can’t share anything, and I’ve been told I have less than a week before most of my organs shut down.

I’ve thought I was going to die many times. And not once did I think anything other than “huh. So this is it”. Most of the I was laughing afterward, and I’m not 100% why except maybe a nervous response.

Ultimately I don’t know if I’m emotionally prepared to die, but there’s things I am absolutely willing to die for. I’d rather NOT die, but I’d say I am accepting of it.

Uhhhhhhh I’m not actually sure I answered your question, sorry.

I fully expect oil companies to convince governments to tax their citizens 150% to subsidize their new oil wells, just so they can continue looking for and opening new ones LONG after it ceases to be profitable.

It’s like conservatives and democracy. They’re okay with it as long as they can keep “winning” but when they can’t win anymore, they won’t change their behavior, they’ll stop using democracy.

I’d argue we already passed that point for both conservatives (in most major countries) AND oil company profits.

The cost of dealing with fossil fuels has been far outweighing the cost of using them, and has been for many many decades. If our species makes it that long, our grandchildren’s grandchildren’s great great great grandchildren will still be dealing with our mistakes.

My wife and her dad both have it. This is the first time I’ve heard anyone link it to ibuprofen.

I have so many knives and hammers and axes and shivs and even a saw or two.

I’m basically ready to go on a mass killing spree, according to them.

I’m surprised they didn’t list pencils in there. Anyone who’s seen John Wick or the dark knight knows they are deadly weapons.

… Again?

Idk man, I feel like the fall of the Berlin wall didn’t affect my parents much.

Battle of Hastings? I mean yeah. Probably scatter most of my family tree.

Also is it really a good time to tell Americans that they need to be disarmed when the vast majority of us are having a hard time with a fascist federal government and police forces who refuse to do their job?

This is my biggest issue with anyone preaching gun bans and the like.

I am actively encouraging my lgbtq+ and other minority friends to arm and train, and have had a few over to my personal range (basically my back yard in the country with a big dirt hill surrounding a couple steel plates) to practice with because they don’t feel comfortable going to public ranges. (deep red country and likely to encounter bigots with guns and bad attitudes)

Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

So, basically everything?

Politicians can be bought out for embarrassingly low sums.

Some AAA game company releases a big-budget title that turns out to be a complete buggy mess (like MindsEye)

[FREE SPACE] contenders in here, but I like this one the best. The next one is a very close second.

Maybe he’s dead?

Or more likely it just hasn’t been shoved in his face while he watches TV or “plays golf”

Hopefully that first one though.
